It's been quiet on this blog for a little while now and that's because Jenny and I have been putting all of our extra time into our brand new space, getting it prepared for today! :D<br /><br />So head on over to the new site to check out the blog and ALL things Maiedae. Don't forget to subscribe to us on <a href="https://www.bloglovin.com/maiedae">Bloglovin</a> and change your RSS feeds so you don't miss a thing!<br /><br /><i>What happens to this space?</i> I will be keeping this blog up for now as an archive. You can still access all of my old posts if you want. I'm also planning to continue posting regularly on my YouTube channel, so to get updates make sure you subscribe to my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/Maiedae">channel here</a>, you can also get glimpses of my daily life and family by following me on <a href="http://instagram.com/savannahmaiedae">Instagram here</a>.&nbsp;:)<br /><br />Thank you SO MUCH for reading this blog over the past 4 years.

Some of you have been with me since the very beginning and some of you are new friends and I'm extremely grateful for all of you! I hope you enjoy the new site as much as we have enjoyed putting it together! It's a little bittersweet saying goodbye to this space, it's been with me through so much but I'm incredibly happy to have records of so many incredible moments since 2010.

We had a delicious meal with my family and Jon's family. I have always loved that our families get along so well and feel like one big happy family when we are all together. It's such a special time when we can all get together! -- Jon is such a natural father and it's amazing watching him father Soren.

Like I've mentioned before...newborns are SO cute, squishy, and little but they are LOTS of work. Soren is about 4.5 months and I have been loving this age so much. I can hardly get enough of his giggles and it makes me laugh a little when he rolls onto his stomach and gets a little fussy that he can't roll back. Some of my favorite times with Soren are our occasional nap-times together and our bedtime routine. I love these special memories with him and it makes me unbelievably joyful knowing he is part of our family and there are many more memories to make!<br /><br />Currently, Soren still sleeps in our room. I'm planning to phase him out to his nursery crib soon, so send prayers and good mommy vibes my way! We have been using the <a href="http://www.4moms.com/breeze">Breeze</a> from <a href="http://www.4moms.com/">4moms</a> ever since Soren was born. It comes with a bassinet piece you can hook onto the top when they're itty-bitty and once they're bigger, they can sleep and play in it without the bassinet. We've also used the Breeze when we traveled to the mountains this past week AND when we were living in the basement after the AC in our house broke. Yikes! But no worries, our AC is back in business and we are comfortably living in our home again. <i>Forever thankful for air conditioning in the humid-hot that is Georgia.</i><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yYH0wnXUjn4/U5tS9Go8IXI/AAAAAAAAN14/oHTIfzumX5k/s1600/IMG_6651small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yYH0wnXUjn4/U5tS9Go8IXI/AAAAAAAAN14/oHTIfzumX5k/s1600/IMG_6651small.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q3SFQhqfYQA/U5tTDRd-biI/AAAAAAAAN2A/wMPXNZJ-JUI/s1600/IMG_6626small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q3SFQhqfYQA/U5tTDRd-biI/AAAAAAAAN2A/wMPXNZJ-JUI/s1600/IMG_6626small.jpg" /></a></div>I am a hardcore 4moms believer. We have absolutely loved the products we've used so far, and being a tinsy bit of a design snob, I especially appreciate the simple aesthetic and color choices. The Breeze is especially my favorite because it's literally a one-step setup, so easy. <i>Ain't nobody got time to fuss around with a playard!</i> You can check <a href="http://www.4moms.com/breeze">this video</a> to see it in action. Also, it comes with a travel bag that is actually easy to use and fits in our sedan trunk perfectly. I can't believe how much stuff we had to pack for Soren during our trip to the mountains, so that fact that this folds up to a modest size is a huge plus!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ThQziUSUwkQ/U5tTIMdEcwI/AAAAAAAAN2I/XzEuK4rtT2c/s1600/IMG_6597small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ThQziUSUwkQ/U5tTIMdEcwI/AAAAAAAAN2I/XzEuK4rtT2c/s1600/IMG_6597small.jpg" /></a></div><br /><b>GIVEAWAY TIME</b><br />The amazing people over at <a href="http://www.4moms.com/">4moms</a> are offering one of my readers the chance to win a Breeze of their own!

We are definitely the "stay-cation" type, so the idea of staying in a cabin for a week, cooking our own food, relaxing, and taking it easy was right up our alley!<br /><br />We drove up to North Georgia and rented one of those amazing vacation rentals (which is the best!) We also brought Soren along, which was a new adventure. This was our first big trip with him and he did really well! We had one little melt-down on the way to Zach and Leah's but he mostly napped during the rest of the drive and was great at the cabin. Going out and about with him more makes me so much more confident in taking him places!<br /><br />I've been trying to really unplug a lot lately and that's just what I did on our vacation. I left my phone and computer in our room for the most part and just checked a few things here and there or used my phone to read books from my kindle app. It was just what I needed and so wonderful. I get into such a bad habit of checking my phone for the sake of checking it and wasting precious time. I'm trying to learn to just look at it during certain times of the work day and essentially putting it away after work and on the weekends. My heart is to be "all there" for my family and enjoy all of these moments. :)<br /><br />To sum it up, it was such a laid back getaway and just what we needed!!<br /><br /><i>PS - Also, thank you all SO much for your incredible words of encouragement and support about our <a href="http://maiedae.blogspot.com/2014/06/maiedaes-exciting-announcement.html">announcement</a> yesterday.

We are SO excited to be finally sharing something special with you that has been in the works since last year. We've been waiting and hinting at an exciting Maiedae announcement here and there but are finally able to make it official and share this journey and exciting news with you, our amazing readers!!<br /><br />As you know, Maiedae got its start back in 2010. We started out as a small, handmade shop and over the years grew into a full-time graphic design business while also maintaining our own personal blogs. In late 2013, after the excitement of realizing we were going to be able to share our pregnancy/motherhood journeys together, we got to chatting about Maiedae and how we envisioned it after starting our families. From the very beginning, Maiedae was created with the hope and dream that we could be at home with our families and continue to do what we are passionate about AND work together! So far that dream has been a reality and now with this new journey in our business it will bring that dream into a reality even more. SO, what's this big announcement? :)<br /><br />In mid-July we will be launching a brand-spankin-new Maiedae site!! I don't know if you realize but we currently have SIX different Maiedae related sites. It's a little crazy. What's so exciting about this new site is that you will be able to access everything Maiedae in ONE single space. Blog, Maiedae Mixer, Shop, Graphic Design...everything and more! This means more incredible content, updates about everything Maiedae related, and information about graphic design all in one location! With this new site launch we will also be re-branding Maiedae with a new look so everything will be cohesive and work together beautifully. We are SO excited, can you tell? ;)<br /><br />One of the biggest changes of this new launch will be the blog. We will no longer be posting on our current blogs. Although they will still remain available for their archives! Instead, we will be running our Maiedae blog together! -- This is something we've thought about and discussed over and over again and feel such a total peace and excitement about! Although it most certainly will be bittersweet to leave this space and start a whole new adventure, we are feeling so inspired and excited about this new journey, and we are so excited to share this journey with YOU!<br /><br />What will the new blog be like? After many coffee date conversations and holding our little ones while sitting on the living room floor, we felt like the most appropriate thing to blog about would be what we know and what our lives are involved in on a day-to-day basis. Our blog will be filled with inspiration, hands-on projects, tips and tools to inspire a balanced and honest life for you, your family and your home. We will be exploring and sharing our adventures in motherhood, fashion, baby, home, beauty, wellness and living a creative lifestyle. Each topic will be brimming with DIYs, honest advice, reviews, fun tips, our experiences and beautiful photographs. We have pages and pages and pages of ideas and we can hardly wait to get started!<br /><br />Please join us for our exciting new site launch and adventure in mid-July! We will be hosting an insane launch week giveaway with tons of discounts and prizes to celebrate! :D As well, we want to sincerely thank you for being such an amazing support and encouragement to us. Maiedae has been such a huge passion of ours for going on four years and we are so excited to see what this new adventure brings. THANK YOU for being part of Maiedae, you are truly the best and so amazing! We hope you'll join us on this new journey in July!<br /><br />Lots of love,<br />Savannah &amp; Jenny<br /><br /><i>PS - We realize this is a new, big, and exciting change. If you have any questions related to our new site please feel free to leave them in the comment section below! We would be happy to reply! In the meantime, we will continue to post on our current blogs until the launch of the new site in July. :)</i>http://maiedae.blogspot.com/2014/06/maiedaes-exciting-announcement.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Savannah Wallace)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-638316944080604892.post-508505837842625809Mon, 09 Jun 2014 19:26:00 +00002014-06-09T20:20:12.223-04:00the weeklyWeeklyWrap UpTHE WEEKLYHello, friends! I'm back from my trip to the mountains! I decided to really un-plug during my time away and just focus on my family, resting, reading, napping, drawing...it was so wonderful. I have really started craving and loving my "un-plugged" time. I'm trying to train myself to not get so uptight about my inbox or "keeping up" with various social networks. I love being part of this community, staying inspired, and sharing my life, but taking time to step away each day--and sometimes a week here and there--is so wonderful! I love soaking in this time with my family and friends. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.jennyhighsmith.com/">Jenny</a> just started working again after being on maternity leave for a month. I'm so excited to have her back and stoked about working together again! -- Also, we have an EXCITING announcement about Maiedae coming tomorrow! I can hardly wait to share!

I'll be sharing my weekly videos, some updates and maybe a few home progress reports but I won't be posting daily.

Soren has been...butter, baby-do, muppet, little bear, pudding, lovie...I'm sure there are a few food and animal related names I'm missing. ;)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Qy-iSRAj_rk/U30KPlUA8mI/AAAAAAAANwo/-LuM75eCsog/s1600/IMG_6186small.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Qy-iSRAj_rk/U30KPlUA8mI/AAAAAAAANwo/-LuM75eCsog/s1600/IMG_6186small.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j8zI0-JGqUw/U30KlVQ4aqI/AAAAAAAANw0/YKhbZ-IlrHw/s1600/IMG_6220small.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j8zI0-JGqUw/U30KlVQ4aqI/AAAAAAAANw0/YKhbZ-IlrHw/s1600/IMG_6220small.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sykGPcmmFfg/U30KtoVvSqI/AAAAAAAANw8/M2zISbayrj0/s1600/IMG_6212small.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sykGPcmmFfg/U30KtoVvSqI/AAAAAAAANw8/M2zISbayrj0/s1600/IMG_6212small.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K5LzquKwBOc/U30K5LkSSzI/AAAAAAAANxE/RGA-bLUTm00/s1600/IMG_6188small.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K5LzquKwBOc/U30K5LkSSzI/AAAAAAAANxE/RGA-bLUTm00/s1600/IMG_6188small.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d3nB9RrYTn8/U30LDC8pKII/AAAAAAAANxM/yQCQ1ZzS9Fg/s1600/IMG_6214small.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d3nB9RrYTn8/U30LDC8pKII/AAAAAAAANxM/yQCQ1ZzS9Fg/s1600/IMG_6214small.png" /></a></div>Today my little muppet is 4 months old! These 4 months have been incredible, challenging, beautiful, magic, tiring, emotional...everything. I never knew I would love being a mom as much as I do. I love it so, so much. Soren is over twice his birth weight now and is filling in with a little chunk and rolls. I can hardly stop squeezing his little legs. He smiles SO much, giggles, drools like CRAZY, loves noming on his hands, flirts, coos softly, squeals with delight, loves being with his mommy and daddy, sleeps during car rides, can roll onto his side, doesn't love tummy-time, gets really quiet during bath-time...is one of my very favorites.<br /><br />Cheers to 4 months baby butter!http://maiedae.blogspot.com/2014/05/soren-at-4-months.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Savannah Wallace)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-638316944080604892.post-6971236174302450235Tue, 20 May 2014 20:41:00 +00002014-05-21T13:47:24.361-04:00maiedae mixer2014 MAIEDAE MIXER SWAG CALL AND ANNOUNCEMENTS!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HWdBLEkK1Nw/U3u9eMExy2I/AAAAAAAANv8/Nf_mMpC9ELs/s1600/mixer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HWdBLEkK1Nw/U3u9eMExy2I/AAAAAAAANv8/Nf_mMpC9ELs/s1600/mixer.jpg" /></a></div>Guys!

Between the excitement of Jenny <a href="http://www.jennyhighsmith.com/2014/05/introducing-rowan.html">having her little one</a>, planning the Maiedae Mixer, and some super exciting projects coming up this summer, things have been a little busy, busy...resulting in a slow blog. :) But don't worry, I've got some super exciting plans/posts coming up this summer so just hang in there with me! We'll be back into the swing of things soon. Promise! -- In the meantime, you can still expect weekly videos and updates. Yay! You can also follow me on Instagram for daily updates! (<i><a href="http://instagram.com/savannahmaiedae">@savannahmaiedae</a></i>)<br /><br />On a personal note, I've been having a lot of fun being with Soren and watching him grow SO much. He'll be 4 months this Wednesday and it's blowing my mind! We've been enjoying taking him out and about more and seeing him smile and giggle. It's just the best. :) We have an anniversary vacation planed for June and I'm really looking forward to taking him with us and enjoying some time off and away with my family and some of our friends. Can't wait!!<br /><br /><b>Snapshots of the Week:</b> 1// I've been taking the <a href="http://www.abeautifulmess.com/2014/04/blog-life-e-course-is-here-.html">Blog Life e-course</a> by ABM and I LOVE it.

We didn't plan much but we spent a lot of time as a family and it was my very favorite. We went to a baseball game to see my sister perform the National Anthem. I got to see my best friend, Jenny, be a mommy for the first time and see little Rowan in the hospital. Visited Stone Mountain park and had a picnic (<i>we have a season pass and have been loving our walks and time there this year</i>)! ON Mother's Day we went to church, afterward we met up with my parents, siblings, significant others, and Jon's parents to celebrate over brunch at a quaint little restaurant in Grayson.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xwvP-pZxrPU/U3EpC18yWnI/AAAAAAAANuQ/3-nJghBONvk/s1600/IMG_5944small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xwvP-pZxrPU/U3EpC18yWnI/AAAAAAAANuQ/3-nJghBONvk/s1600/IMG_5944small.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SJk5L0fpuJo/U3EpOH4VjEI/AAAAAAAANuY/QruuGxEucXM/s1600/IMG_5914small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SJk5L0fpuJo/U3EpOH4VjEI/AAAAAAAANuY/QruuGxEucXM/s1600/IMG_5914small.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tso88Rrcn1k/U3EpVkb-mDI/AAAAAAAANug/RdTIUy2J630/s1600/IMG_5953small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tso88Rrcn1k/U3EpVkb-mDI/AAAAAAAANug/RdTIUy2J630/s1600/IMG_5953small.jpg" /></a></div>Jon and I spent the rest of the day together with Soren, going out, watching shows...it turned out to be such a relaxing day. Leading up to Mother's Day I wasn't quite sure what type of traditions we would consider or what we should do to celebrate both Mother's Day and Father's Day. It's kind of crazy getting to the point where it's time to make your own traditions around your family. -- Jon and I decided after a successful first Mother's Day that we would make it a tradition of keeping it simple and make it a family day. I can hardly wait to celebrate Jon in June. :)<br /><br />On a side note, I saw some beautiful posts honoring mothers on Instagram yesterday. Many of them recognizing and sending love to mommies who had their little ones taken away too soon, women who ache to be mommies, women who have lost their mommies. All of the beautiful moms. I wanted to second those sentiments and send celebration and love to all of you. What a beautiful time to recognize all of the women in our lives. Happy (belated) Mother's Day.http://maiedae.blogspot.com/2014/05/mothers-day-weekend.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Savannah Wallace)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-638316944080604892.post-4957900967896010265Fri, 09 May 2014 01:39:00 +00002014-05-12T14:16:06.281-04:00ask savVideoyoutubeASK SAV!

Since Thursday, Jon and I have been spending a ton of time working on our house. We've been here for 8 months and have made great progress, <i>at least in our eyes</i>. It's nowhere near finished, but rooms are becoming more and more functional and our home is feeling like ours more and more everyday.<br /><br />We did some more painting, made a "quick" trip to Ikea for some furniture. Moved lots of furniture around, organized, and we're still working on some decorating and putting things away. My studio space is nearly done and I LOVE it. It's looking so professional, clean, and like a place I am really going to enjoy working in. Can't wait to show you soon!<br /><br />I also got to spend some time with Jenny on Friday. It was so good to see her and enjoy her pregnant belly. :) As of today she is 4 days past her due date and we are all on pins and needles waiting to meet little Rowan. I'm so excited!!<br /><br /><b>Snapshots of the Week:</b> 1// Shopping trips with my sister are the best. 2// Spent some time scouting locations for this year's <a href="http://maiedaemixer.blogspot.com/">Maiedae Mixer in September</a>! It's seriously going to be incredible this year. I can hardly wait! -- We'll start selling tickets soon. Be sure to mark your calendar for September 20th! Atlanta will be the place to be! ;) 3// Reading to Soren. Love being a mommy. 4// New rug for my studio!

That labor-of-love project made such a huge difference in the space. From the beginning, this room has been deemed the most "dingy" room in the house and needed the most paint work BUT it was also the room with the most character. Although we knew we had a lot to do, <i>and still have a lot left!</i> Jon and I are SO excited to see this room complete. It already feels SO different from when we first moved in!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ly0qfDQJwqs/U2JxB8fV_rI/AAAAAAAANsY/OS1uKhlqsmE/s1600/livingroombefore.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ly0qfDQJwqs/U2JxB8fV_rI/AAAAAAAANsY/OS1uKhlqsmE/s1600/livingroombefore.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ta_Qv45WHW8/U2JxCIQwqII/AAAAAAAANsk/cp_N7N58CEU/s1600/livingroombefore2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ta_Qv45WHW8/U2JxCIQwqII/AAAAAAAANsk/cp_N7N58CEU/s1600/livingroombefore2.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>The above photos are from the home listing.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>So, our next major project for this room after the fireplace was to paint ALL of the wood trim, doors and windows. We also wanted to replace door knobs, light switches and outlet plates since we had a variety of gold, black, brown and beige going on before. ;) Not cute.<br /><br />Since having a baby makes projects a little more tricky to knock out in a few full days, we spread this project over a couple weekends. Here is a little list of what we did to the space:<br /><br />* Caulk and spackle everything. There were so many cracks between the walls, trim and windows, it made everything look so sloppy. After spending almost a day working on this it made a huge difference!<br /><br />* Prime, prime, prime! We had to do two coats of primer on all of the trim, with very careful attention to the wall of windows. We used Kilz Primer and it worked really well! This is the same primer we used for the fireplace.<br /><br />* After spending a lot of time priming, we put two coats of semi-gloss bright white paint over all of the trim, windows, and doors. We decided to do two coats just to make sure we got everything and that there would be absolutely no wood showing through. We also figured that if we were going to take on this major project that we would do our best to do it right! ;)<br /><br />* And finally, we prepped everything and painted the walls a beautiful grey color to really make that trim pop. We were very much done with the dingy green tone that was in there previously.<br /><br />We are SO pleased with the final results! We still have a lot of work to do in this space, but the major project is done! We have so many excited plans for our home this year and I can hardly wait to share them with you. :)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FrJ_WdnJLkM/U2JyH6mAUSI/AAAAAAAANso/YI6UGTVOUtA/s1600/IMG_5563.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FrJ_WdnJLkM/U2JyH6mAUSI/AAAAAAAANso/YI6UGTVOUtA/s1600/IMG_5563.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d8kF0iHEptI/U2JyOY2RNnI/AAAAAAAANsw/HdN6itas9mU/s1600/IMG_5551.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d8kF0iHEptI/U2JyOY2RNnI/AAAAAAAANsw/HdN6itas9mU/s1600/IMG_5551.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TVUv6n1nYOo/U2JyVde37KI/AAAAAAAANs4/2_WimYSYIW4/s1600/IMG_5535.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TVUv6n1nYOo/U2JyVde37KI/AAAAAAAANs4/2_WimYSYIW4/s1600/IMG_5535.jpg" /></a></div><b>LEFT TO DO IN THE LIVING ROOM</b><br />* Replace the odd patch of carpet with something new, and get rid of the scary transition strip, or "toe ripper" as I like to call it.<br />* Paint the built-in with a fresh coat of white paint and possibly paint the backing a different color.<br />* Purchase some furniture pieces and get this room decorated!<br />* Mount TV.<br />* Hang some beautiful pictures.<br />* Replace the "boob" light on the ceiling beam.http://maiedae.blogspot.com/2014/05/living-room-progress.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Savannah Wallace)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-638316944080604892.post-6510928659918445995Wed, 30 Apr 2014 16:50:00 +00002014-05-01T16:11:08.445-04:00beautyFavoritesGiveawayVideoyoutubeAPRIL BEAUTY & LIFESTYLE FAVORITES<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Vpux5wnlNM4/U2ElUE7aczI/AAAAAAAANr4/wWMSBU6tkyg/s1600/aprilfavs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Vpux5wnlNM4/U2ElUE7aczI/AAAAAAAANr4/wWMSBU6tkyg/s1600/aprilfavs.jpg" /></a></div>It's that time of the month!!

We've definitely been enjoying all of his sounds, smiles and little peeks into his personality. He wants so much to sit, grab, and stand even though he's not old enough. It's so cute to see that determined look on his face. I have to say that it's become more fun being a parent and less tiring lately. I can hardly wait for all of the fun and new things to come. :)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xtCKa6ddsXA/U1g0Qenr4TI/AAAAAAAANq4/oQ2hKpkST4E/s1600/IMG_5121small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xtCKa6ddsXA/U1g0Qenr4TI/AAAAAAAANq4/oQ2hKpkST4E/s1600/IMG_5121small.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><b>FAVORITE TOY:</b> I'm trying to get him into liking Sofie the Giraffe. He still prefers faces and playing with us over toys right now. :) <b>GROWTH:</b> He's nearing 13.5 pounds and has a huge noggin. ;) He's tall and lean, which means he's growing quickly out of his clothes! I packed up all of his newborn clothes the other day and I'm now wondering if we need to go up to 3-6 months soon. Goodness! <b>FEEDING:</b>&nbsp;He's gotten a lot more serious about feeding times and isn't wanting to feed nearly as much as he was when he was a newbie. I'm thankful for that! <b>SLEEP: </b>He's starting to have more and more nights where he's sleeping anywhere from 4-6 hours in a row. It's not every night but almost!&nbsp;<b>DEVELOPMENT:</b> Tummy time has been going really well! He's holding his head up much better! I'm wondering when he'll start trying to roll-over. He smiles all the time and today was the first time he let out a little giggle. Of course, it was at his dad for acting silly. We nearly burst into tears of happiness after hearing him. It was too cute for words. <b>FAVORITE MOMENT:</b> I love our conversations together. He gets really into his coo-ing and loves when we talk to him, use silly accents, sing and make crazy noises. :) He's usually the most talkative in the morning which totally makes my day awesome. <b>LOOKING FORWARD TO:</b> Experiencing more and more firsts!http://maiedae.blogspot.com/2014/04/oh-baby-here-we-are-at-3-months.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Savannah Wallace)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-638316944080604892.post-5386640969875539633Wed, 23 Apr 2014 01:58:00 +00002014-04-23T16:21:28.296-04:00WeeklyWrap UpTHE WEEKLYThis week was an exciting week because Jon and I FINALLY finished our living room painting project! We had a lot of work to do in that room and with having a baby, it took a bit of extra time. ;) Now that the painting is done, it feels like a completely different room and not a dingy, old space. I can't wait to show you the progress this week!<br /><br />This week we've been taking it easy since it's been a busy couple of weeks. We also decided to take next Monday off and enjoy a long weekend. If the weather permits, I have plans to visit the zoo! -- Also, <a href="http://www.jennyhighsmith.com/">Jenny</a> is SO close to her due date, I can hardly wait to meet Rowan, and Soren's future best friend. ;) What an exciting time!!<br /><br /><b>Snapshots of the Week:</b> 1// I don't believe I'll ever get my studio organized, but I'm hoping these new office supplies help motivate me! <i>In love with Target.</i> 2// Our Easter family photo!

I might have gone on a mini shopping spree at Target a week ago to stock up on some great basic pieces that are comfortable and still easy to nurse in! I think a great way to make more neutral, simple pieces have a pop of interests is all in the accessories. I love combining fun jewelry, shoes and scarfs to give an outfit a little more "punch". Still figuring out ways to best dress my new postpartum body and feeling like a might be leaning towards a shift in style. Pinterest is probably my very favorite place for collecting style inspiration! It's probably time I go through my closet and figure out some of the pieces I'm missing.<br /><br />Any tips on re-accessing your style and organizing your closet?
